Just checking in.

Just checking in.

I thought I'd start a discussion where we can check in with members and use this space to keep in contact. It's a space to be able to say how you really feel and it's a space for the good, the bad and the ugly moments in our lives.

Re: Just checking in.

You know I get that @Kurra in that I have 4 young adult ones that I'm a bit partial too and protective over but it's different with this stuff. I tend to behave differently and get very defensive and a heap of other things. Lots of times I'd way prefer to sit and have a beer with a bloke. I still have some close male friends I adore and I can talk with them about anything but I've had a thirty year relationship with them. This relationship is different. I've gone through it too many times to know it doesn't work well. Loved my old GP who was male but we fought heaps too and although I know he was on my side he did damage with stuff too because he couldn't see it through my eyes being female just through a males. I really did like him but it's his voice that has come to haunt me telling me to end it all the time. Sorry think I'm feeling a bit defensive. Sorry for the rant. Thanks for responding. 💜🤗

Thanks @oceangirl. The reason I'm freaking out so much is my therapist only works one day a week which is Wednesday. That's the bit that's really at the crux of all this. Thanks for your thoughtful response. 💜🤗

@Former-Member
Sometimes we tey to cross bridges before we've even got to them.
Give this guy a chance. Just because it hasn't worked out with the others doesn't mean it's going to be the same with this one.
Different personalities can make a world of difference. Hugzzz 💕 🎶

I'll try @Kurra but you'll hear about it if it doesn't work!!! 😜😘 I promise to give it a go. Thing is she told me he's new so he doesn't have preconceived ideas of me. Not sure how to take that 😯
